About Arjuna

Here is what Arjuna (地球少女アルジュナ) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, drama and fantasy anime by Satelight (2001). The premise: Juna was just an everyday high-school girl, right up until the day she died in a motorcycle accident. But there, in the twilight of death, she saw the future of the barren earth destroyed by the Raaja, and was offered a second chance at life if she would stop them.

From there, now she needs to learn to cast aside her thoughtlessly destructive ways and face her destiny as the Avatar of Time, the one being who can decide the fate of the planet.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Mami Higashiyama as Juna Ariyoshi and Yuuji Ueda as Chris Hawken. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Satelight, so the studio's house style defines how Arjuna looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on adventure, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. With a 6.1/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Mami Higashiyama as Juna Ariyoshi, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2001, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
